Never seen any like that here, and my uncle had a logging company! Single bladed boot jacks as we knew them, were used for climbing.

2039 looks light a "traffic light finder" A type of prism lens. It was stuck on a dashboard or windshield with a suction cup mount (missing?) to see a traffic light that was hidden by the roof above the windshield when waiting at a light. You didn't have to lean forward in the seat to peek up at the traffic light. I had a similar one back in the 50s.We're the only ones that know what is. Mine is on my 53 Merc.

The reason for them is if you had one of those visors on your roof it was hard to see the light. I put one on my PT Cruiser.

I had a 53 Mercury Monterey, 2D, 2 Tone Green. I don't remember if it was on that car or one of the other 50's FMC cars I owned
They were also similar option for GM vehicles -- the '48 truck had a factory-option one, the '39 a aftermarket version.
LMC Truck has them in recent catalogs; I presume JC Whitney probably still has 'em, too, altho I've not looked...
LMC TRUCKS have them,check under their 50's trucks or J C SHITNEY !!!! Jerry
I'm cheap, I just wait until the guy behind me honks.

------------------------------ Brass and salt water are totally incompatible.
Salt water leaches the zinc out of the brass, thus bronze is the choice.
Copper is too soft.

There are many places in the USA where the Colt works a lot better than the Klaxon - and is used more!
Who said anything about salt water?
Well, New Jersey does come to mind ...
But they tend not to have traffic lights.

In some parts of town, the cars have more guns than cell phones.
